My Productive Day
Well, this week was the beginning of my part-time Lab/part-time startup schedule. Tuesdays I plan on going up to the Lab since I have a regularly scheduled meeting. Here's how my day went:
- 10 minute drive from the house to BART
- 5 minute wait for the train
- 1 hour ride up to Berkeley
- walk to my building in downtown Berkeley and notice that everyone is milling about in the lobby and on the sidewalk in a bizarre way that resembles old video game characters that get stuck in a confined space and just bounce back and forth between walls. It turns out that a generator blew up and they had to evacuate the building
- My meeting isn't for a while, but it's up the hill with the rest of the lab, so I go wait for a Lab bus for 10 minutes
- 15 minute bus ride up the hill, including transfer from external(off-site) bus to internal bus
- 30 minutes working on laptop on picnic bench
- 1 hour meeting
- 5 minute wait for bus back down the hill
- 10 minute bus ride back to office
- It turns out the power is back on, but they don't seem confident about it, so everyone went home
- 10 minute wait for BART
- 1 hr train ride
- 10 minute drive from station to home
What a waste of time. Granted I had my personal laptop with me, but I'm trying to avoid using it in situations that could aggravate my wrist/shoulder problems.
